about

Written camping by the river in Eden (with a bottle of whisky), having just spent an evening bogged on the beach of Whisky Bay on Wilson's Promontory.

lyrics

sober the land / but drunk is the ocean / and each time you leave / I dream of the sea / because outside my room / the cars on the highway/ sound just like the water to me / now I love the sea / but I hate the horizon / it lures the ships / over the brink / the red sky at night / is the sailors’ delight / but the red sky at dawn just means too much to drink / eyes blue / there’s someone in love with you / eyes green / there’s something you’ve seen / if they’re brown / somebody has turned you down / red / well it’s something I’ve said / but there by the sea / the melody comes to me / but words just won’t fit / the way that I planned them / this semi-detached auto-fictography / I might as well write with a stick in the sand / once my mind was unclouded/ but now my mind is unclear / I count on the tide / I’ll let her decide / how long I wait for you here / because once my love was un troubled / but twice my love was untrue / if this is the end / my foul-weather friend / how long should I wait here for you
